While there’s still no premiere date for the final season of Transparent, series creator Jill Soloway has announced that the production isn’t going to end with a traditional series finale. 

During the Television Critics Association winter press tour Wednesday, Soloway confirmed that Transparent‘s swan song will be a musical finale. 

“We would never have wanted to take a special, incredible show like that and just end it unceremoniously. It was Jill’s idea to do a musical movie,” Amazon Studios chief Jennifer Salke told reporters during the executive session. “We signed off on that idea, trusting her that she would come up with something incredible. We all sat in the front row of a musical run-through of this movie where we were crying. It is really special.”

Apparently, Soloway always wanted to make a musical, and now she’s finally making it happen. 

“Right as my parent came out, the very first instinct I had before I wrote Transparent was that my sister, Faith, and I were going to make a documentary musical,” she explained to reporters. “As a family we were always doing musicals, so that was kind of the first impulse, was to use song — and in many ways, some people have said that Transparent has always been a show that wants to be a musical.”

The unconventional way to end the Amazon series is also a way to overcome Jefferey Tabor’s exit, “When everything went down last year and we lost Jeffrey Tambor, we went through so much as a family that felt like this very emotional … there are no words,” she said. “There was no way, really, to just go back to a plain old season five.”

According to Variety, the overall deal signed between Amazon Studios and creative duo Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino was announced by Amazon Wednesday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. 

“Amy and Dan have a remarkable partnership, grounded in their complete trust in each other and evidenced by the magic they create on-screen — especially with revolutionary roles for women and with their trademark brilliant dialogue,” said Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke in a statement. “We celebrate the critical success of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and our extended overall deal with them, which will allow our Amazon Prime audience to continue to enjoy their groundbreaking show and future original series from this incredible duo.”

On the heels of announcing the deal, Vernon Sanders, Co-Head of Television at Amazon Studios told reporters that a Gilmore Girls revival is not off the table.

“I don’t think [we’ve discussed it],” Sanders said. “We are talking to Amy and Dan about a lot of things. That hasn’t come up. But I do think it speaks to our overall philosophy when it comes to talent, which is we think it benefits us when we have talent that’s creatively happy and have opportunities to do many things,” Sanders added. “If that show were to continue and it isn’t for us, we would obviously be happy to see it happen.” 

The original Gilmore Girls ran for seven seasons and starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as the mother-daughter duo. The show was brought back by Netflix with a four-part series nearly 10 years after the original wrapped. 

Variety reports that the studio has acquired the independent political thriller starring Stewart as Jean Seberg.

This is the latest purchase in Amazon Studio’s buying spree, following its buying five film out of the Sundance Film Festival market. The studio’s move for the indie was made after viewing a promotional reel only. 

Against All Enemies is inspired by the real-life events of the FBI’s attempts to discredit Seberg, French New Wave darling, because of her romantic involvement with civil rights activist Hakim Jamal and her support of the Black Panther Party.

The film also stars Jack O’Connell, Anthony Mackie, Colm Meaney, Margaret Qualley, Vince Vaughn, Zazie Beetz, Stephen Root and Yvan Attal. O’Connell is set to play an FBI agent and Mackie will portray a civil rights activist Jamal.

Against All Enemies is currently in post-production.

Gaiman previously signed a first-look deal with distribution giant Fremantle but decided to jump ship after its expiration date. He found a new home at Amazon, and head of this studio Jennifer Salke was more than happy to welcome him to their realm.

“Neil Gaiman is a phenomenally talented writer, who creates worlds that are compelling, multi-dimensional and narratively unique. His fans are ardent, vocal and passionate, and we are fortunate to bring his gifted vision to the Prime Video audience,” said Salke.

Neil Gaiman already worked closely with executives at Amazon and was impressed by how well they handled the adaptation of Good Omens, hit novel he wrote with the late Terry Pratchett. This collaboration apparently gave him a nudge in the right direction even before he agreed to sign the deal.

“They are smart, gloriously enthusiastic people, who weren’t afraid of Good Omens being different but who were as determined as I was to make something as unique and exciting as it is,” explained the bestselling author behind Stardust, American Gods, and Coraline.
